[12:20] ye [12:20] you have a new terminal open? [12:20] yue [12:20] yea* [12:21] cd /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.15 copy paste that line into your terminal. [12:21] you should see the prompt change [12:21] ye [12:21] ok... did you get build-essential installed, etc?.. in the first part of these intructions? [12:21] e [12:21] ye [12:22] the required tools and [12:22] kernel headers [12:22] ye? [12:22] right... [12:22] ok, copy paste this line in that terinal... sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel [12:22] its gonna do a bunch of junk [12:22] ye [12:23] dun [12:23] when its done, run sudo make and when thats done, run sudo make install [12:23] is sudo make running now? [12:23] ya [12:23] ok, while thats compiling, do me a favor, open another terminal and type this... [12:24] cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec [12:24] tell me what it outputs [12:24] no such directory [12:24] then you did it wrong [12:24] did wat wrong? [12:24] copy and paste it exactly... [12:25] make sure you dont put a space in front of the "C" in cat [12:25] cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#*: No such file or directory [12:25] why did you put the : [12:25] i didnt [12:25] thats wat came up after [12:25] thats my point, you're putting a space before the C in cat. [12:25] i put in cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec [12:26] kk [12:26] sudo make [12:26] and sudo make install are done [12:26] ok, hang o a sec. [12:26] need to figure out why can't figureou tthe codec thing. [12:27] hmm,w ell we'll try it after it compiles. [12:27] sudo make install is done [12:28] ok, now type [12:28] cd /usr/src/alsa/alsa-lib-1.0.15 [12:28] ye [12:28] then sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install [12:30] somthing isn't making sense, cuz i get the propper output w/ that command i give you. [12:30] you should get something like [12:31] Codec: Realtek ALC268 [12:31] hmm [12:31] Codec: Conexant ID 2c06 [12:31] i get no such directory [12:31] we'll figure it out in a minute. [12:31] all three sudo's have finished [12:31] cd /usr/src/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.15? [12:32] yup [12:32] sudo confg and all that [12:32] yea? [12:32] yep [12:32] kk [12:32] they done [12:33] all of htem? [12:33] ye [12:33] wow, ok. [12:33] hey, do you have the little horn in your tasbar, like to adjust volume, etc?

[12:34] no [12:34] thats wat anoying [12:34] when just double click the volume it says [12:34] whats it do when you right click the horn? [12:34] if i double click the horn i get [12:34] No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [12:34] ok, now its making more sense. [12:35] got o System/Preferences/Sound [12:35] the menu.. [12:35] ye [12:35] on the devices tab, whats it say on "Default Mixer Tracks" [12:35] nothing [12:36] hmm, so if you click it, nothing comes up? [12:36] yue [12:36] ye* [12:36] thats pretty unusual.... what model computer do you have? [12:36] Toshiba [12:36] thing is [12:36] i had it before [12:36] but i had no sound [12:36] then i installed 1.0.15 [12:36] and it does that [12:36] you had what before, the volume button? [12:37] ye [12:37] where you could adjust the volume, etc. [12:37] i could click it and stuff [12:37] and i could do prefs [12:37] well, installing 1.0.15 isn't gonna change that [12:37] + i had no sound [12:37] with 1.0.14 [12:37] so i wanted to fix it [12:37] i used this tut [12:37] http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/upgrading.alsa.html [12:38] well i have no idea what that done. [12:38] when i run with the live CD [12:38] i get sound [12:38] so before you started, you coud adjust volume, etc, just no sound, but when you did tha ttutorial, you couldn't do anything... [12:39] ye [12:39] so why did you upgrade? [12:39] because [12:39] when i had sound with the live CD [12:39] it had a massive [12:39] screeching noise [12:39] over the top of it [12:39] oh i see. [12:39] that hurtm y ears [12:39] i see, so you googled, and found those instructions. [12:40] ye [12:40] well, i'm not sure what his instructions done. [12:40] did you try going to #alsa, like that page suggested? [12:41] ye [12:41] they said [12:41] go to ubuntu xD [12:41] lol, but you followed their instruction to fix the problem..lol, morons. [12:41] ye [12:41] they didnt really help me tho [12:41] honestly, i don't know how to undo what you've done w/ those instructions. [12:41] hmm [12:41] maybe [12:41] i could [12:42] reinstall [12:42] ubuntu [12:42] thats what i would do. [12:42] then [12:42] how could i fix the screeching noise tho? [12:42] with that tut? [12:42] yes, by doing what we've just done. [12:42] or the tut u just did with me [12:42] Most cards seem to work as of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS using the stock kernel. However, the following problems might occur on some setups: [12:42] * [12:42] No sound at all [12:42] * [12:42] Low volume output [12:42] * [12:42] High pitched noise [12:43] * [12:43] Poor sound quality [12:43] ye [12:43] * [12:43] Sound disappears when touching volume controls [12:43] kk [12:43] * [12:43] Sound works at random after each reboot [12:43] *
